[@MrKluckie13]

I swear half of Italian and French cooking culture is that they tell you one way to do something the right way but leave out a critical piece of information or do it an entirely different way when you are not looking just so they can act superior when you inevitably fail at making something that they sabotaged.

Italians: just make it in a bowl x Andrew: it’s the most DIFFICULT and great challenge HUMANITY HAS EVER SEEN

[@AreThereNoMoreNames]

Sort of puzzled me at first because I've been making it in a bowl with cheap cheese and haven't been having those issues. But emulsifying it in a food processor seems like it could be neat.

This gets funnier with every viewing. Babish is so unhinged, and the crew are all amazing. I nearly busted a gut when Andrew was speed-grating cheese, the grater snapped, and he screamed!

[@RhythmnOfThought]

I feel incredibly reassured knowing that Babish has botched this dish exactly the same way I did. Thank you for posting this and rejuvenating part of my cooking confidence. Bye the way, I think the best thing you can do in that situation is to just call Alex. He made two great videos about this dish and will show you the way using science, logic and the power of his French accent.

[@izzieluv]

"The power of his French accent" 😅

[@JMD3M410]

Basically you have to have super starchy water by having more pasta to water ratio (fresh pasta also helps get it starchier). But I think both fixes make a better dish overall anyway.

[@clashwithkeen]

Calling Alex or Vincenzo is prob the right move.

[@DismemberTheAlamo]

No its a buiness expense, he paid the taxes on it when purchased, but he can write it off the amount he spent ont he cheese itself as a deduction

[@Jayariee]

@@DismemberTheAlamo he's definitely not going to get refunded the equivalent amount or close though. KZbin tax advisors are the worse

[@ChadHadsell]

@@DismemberTheAlamo here's how tax write-offs work: Andrew paid $1000 for the wheel of cheese. For simplicity's sake, let's say that he has an effective income tax rate of 30%. When he files his taxes, Andrew will be able to deduct the $1000 from his income... Meaning he won't pay taxes on that $1000. 30% of $1000 is $300, so he saves $300 on his taxes. You could make an argument that he got the wheel of cheese for $700. But $700 is still a ton of money. "Write-off/deduction" does not equal "free".

[@EdibleOstriche]

dont do that. if the mold is visible then that means it has grown enough to be sporing. this typically means that the mold is spread throughout the food, you just cannot see it. you can get food poisoning or worse if you eat foods that had (unintentional) mold on it, even if you cut out the visible parts.

[@christiansandrini96]

@@EdibleOstriche I do believe your science man. But 24 years of scraping parmesan mould are giving me the boldness to claim italian immunity on myself. I don't advice it for anyone but I am not going to stop it

[@Magimasterkarp]

I work in the food industry. When we get white mold on our ham we just wash it off. Certain italian sausages are covered in mold on purpose.

[@kylereis3639]

The general rule of thumb I’ve heard with cheeses is that if it is a hard cheese you can cut back a bit from the mold and cut off the moldy bits without risk. On the other hand if it is a soft cheese the roots have probably gone throughout the cheese so you should toss it.

My dads solution, upon seeing mold on a block of cheese, was to take a knife and gently scrape that area until the mold was no longer there. We’re both still alive

[@Groza_Sadika]

It works with hard cheeses, cuz the mold doesn't get too deep in it. It doesn't work with softer cheeses tho, mold is not always visible, if it is on the surface of the soft cheese, it is just as well should be inside of it.

[@misterkefir]

Same.

[@rockin-ronan]

My whole life I've just been told to cut the mold off hard cheeses and I haven't gotten food poisoning yet

[@BobertJoe]

Thats actually one of the reasons we developed cheese in the first place. It keeps for a very long time, because even if it starts to go moldy, you can just remove that portion and the rest is still fine.

Brad- "If it explodes, its a Molotov" Me- "Yeah that makes se-" Babish- "Brad, that doesn't make any sense" Me- "Er...."

[@earlpettey]

I mean, it doesn't make sense. Molotovs don't explode. There is no significant outward force applied against the container by the burning liquid. It just breaks when you throw it and spills the contents everywhere to be all burny and dangerous but there isn't any explosion. That would require a tightly sealed container to build pressure.
